Post-metal’s darlings are back with an album that somehow manages to encompass the band’s entire 12-year existence. It comes with the rawness of the debut, the hypnotic pulse of both “Oceanic” and “Panopticon” and the same vibe as “In The Absence Of Truth” (only this time with better results).
“Wavering Radiant” still has those sludgy repetitive riffs we love Isis for alongside Aaron Turner’s powerful voice that roars and booms one second and soothes the next. It’s that constant juxtaposition of loud and quiet, tension and relief and singing and screaming that makes “Wavering Radiant” Isis’ most complex puzzle so far. Decipher it and you’ll be rewarded with a bold yet exciting album.
Score: 8 out of 10
